Test Results....Finally

It took two weeks and a call to the Patient Experience department but I have finally received information about my tests.

Two weeks ago, I went to Mayo for a heart catheterization, pulmonary function test, and a liver biopsy. 

They determined from the liver biopsy that we will keep watching it but there is nothing we need to do now. There is some thought the damage could be related to my 2023 adventure of lots of medicine and episodes of sepsis.

While it was no surprise, the pulmonary function test showed that my lungs are trash. I have with severe restriction on total lung volumes, which is not ideal. This explains the shortness of breath. My doctor says we can try a few things and see if they work. He isn't completely optimistic but as we both agreed, we will not know unless we try. In two weeks, I am also going to talk to Palliative Care about some other interventions as well. Of course with everything, the insurance company gets to decide, which is definitely a good idea. We are going to keep watching. It was disappointing that I had to reach out to help get an answer after two weeks but the doctor did not seem upset, which was good. 

I have lots of appointments between now and mid December but then hopefully we will get a break for a few weeks.

For tonight . . . I'm just sayin' XOXO
